The Office of Intercultural Learning works with Southwestern University students to help them integrate intercultural experiences into their liberal arts education, and to reflect on their position and responsibilities in the world. We take a holistic, liberal arts-based approach to off-campus study by preparing and supporting students to live and learn in a new cultural setting and then helping students continue the learning process as they return to the home campus. The Office of Intercultural Learning provides institutional leadership in infusing the educational program on campus with intercultural learning opportunities off-campus. We also provide advising and other services to international students studying at Southwestern University.
